Transferring

17% eh? maybe just celebrate Robby Burns day

Hi,
I am looking to transfer to U of T for next fall. I saw the CUDO statistics for Fall 2009 and the acceptance rate was 17%. This kind of worries me. I know it couldn’t be much higher since they want to reserve as many seats as possible for the highschool students, but all the same I’m concerned.
What minimum GPA should one have to have a chance? I know that you don’t have access to those stats, but maybe you have an idea from transfer students you’ve known in the past?
Cheers

You little researcher you,

17% does seem pretty low, but I’m going to assume a few dummies didn’t check transfer requirements and applied with crazy low averages. U of T is fairly hard to get into in general (CUDO says about 26% for Arts/Humanities/Social Sciences), so it makes sense its equally hard to transfer in.

Click here, follow the steps and it will tell you what the specific requirements are for your program. It generally says a “solid B” average though.

I actually don’t know any students that have transfered into U of T … maybe that’s because only 17% get in. But if you do get in, imagine how special you will feel?

you’ll always be special in my heart,

    17% is not accurate. That’s almost the same rate as Ivy League. You are probably looking at people who got accepted to U of T and then actually registered which will be lower. U of T doesn’t release official acceptance rates as far as I know but I have heard it is likely in the 49%-50% range. U of T is actually not that difficult to get into, lots of people have high school averages from 75%-79% and most have averages in the 80s. Obviously it depends on the program with Engineering Science and Commerce probably the most difficult to get into. The hard part is not getting in but doing well once you are in.
